Super charger needs a good tune in jersey

Just like the title says,
I installed the stillen supercharger, had so many problems trying to get a custom tune from stillen cause their stock tune was pretty bad,
Even after the custom tune from them the car still doesn't produce the horsepower they claimed. Not even close, so instead of losing a boat load of money and uninstall and do something different I was thinking of going to another shop and get a custom tune from someone that knows Infiniti and superchargers. And maybe they can get more power out of it.

All within your area and is uprev dealers, before doing that you should ask stillen to send you the 9lbs pulley. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to do that. Just so you know after the custom tune there are no more warranty or support from them

My kit is showing 9lbs of boost, and I never had any real support from them anyway, the uprev tune that came with the kit didn't work worn a crap, it has. Custom tune, but I don't think it's a good tune, so I anted someone who is familiar with the kit and the car to take a look at it. Before I went to the installer to put he supercharger in I called performance 3 times talks to matt, but he never called back.

I think GTM had a thread about a troubled stillen kit as well. Turned out that the extensions on the MAF sensor harness were poorly soldered together iirc. After repairing that, the car was just fine.

uprev lists all the tuners they recommend on their website

The only time GTM made a thread about them is my car. GTM did not repair anything instead tore it apart and installed their S/C kit. After that my car has been happy even till this day.

Thanks guys, i am going to give R\T. a call to set up an appointment,
I am not satisfied with the shop that did the super charger install, and the follow up service, have you ever had a mechanic forget to put oil in your super charger before starting the car!!!
That was the last straw. He couldnt even tune the car he had to bring it to someone it turns out.
Anyway hopefully this guy can get a good tune on the car.
Thanks

That makes me think about an SC for the Z. I have been tossing it around.

I made 412 WHP on a 7SPD auto X AWD car. . Low reading mustang Dyno.. I'm Sure R/T's is the sa,e type of dyno.. 20 WHP would be the difference in a manual and auto no?
